Wonderful

Besides the road noise from the freeway and the freezing cold water in the pool, we were very happy with the hotel and the staff we encountered.

The hotel overall wasn’t bad, my issues was with the room room 228. First the air condition wasn’t working right and the temperature display wasn’t fully displaying. Secondly, the bathroom door wouldn’t close from inside. Even from outside someone had to mess around with it for a few seconds to have it stay shut. Next the water was draining very slowly while taking a shower. Lastly the pull handle for the shower wouldn’t work properly to divert the water to the shower head. Had to play with it at least 3 times to work right. Of course at checkout nobody there to talk to about the issues above. I checked in at almost 10pm so I didn’t have the energy to deal with the problems for a one night stay.
It’s was a great stay and have stayed before with no issues, however this time the place smelled very musty. It was very hot and humid so assuming that was the issue.

These are really nice rooms overall.
I didn’t like the shampoo and conditioner fragrance - really strong. I had to use the bar soap - which was more pleasant to wash out the smell of the other. So for someone with sensitivities - beware.
The close door was damaged and patched but it looked really tacky.
Came for the state fair and booked a room here. Arrived at the front desk where no one was around. Waited for 30 mins until someone finally came around from the back room.
The room we got was ok, looked clean except the window currents which had boogers on it (disgusting)!!! Other than that this place is average. Expect waiting forever at the front desk as other people has had similar reviews

It was a decent hotel; but our room was very humid/damp which gave it an odor and was uncomfortable to sleep. The overall property was okay, places to sit outside and had restaurants and gas station near by which was nice.
A few towels were stained. The carpet was dirty. We have a king room with sofa sleeper but the chair in that same little area would have made it impossible to pull out the sleeper or to even use the entire sofa and chair.
The room and hallway had a weird smell; I thought it smelled like rubber/tires and my husband thought maybe it was an odd paint smell.
I couldn't really tell what temp the a/c was supposed to be keeping the room because it changed from what we set it to. It also felt wet/humid in the room which made it uncomfortable for sleeping.
